are we beginning to see how mr. adelson may have lost those $150 million on a single bet there? >> no question. he's engaging it with what bush called fuzzy çmath. the suspicious of his calculations there, my daddy used to say this, if you missed it by a dime, might as well be a dollar. the reality is if it's 0.002s or 200%, you lost, you're not in the white house. what you sought is not realized. your ambition was stunted. your goal was this warted and your ability to manipulate change your particular way has to go back to the drawing boards. that's what he's doing. he's going back now. trying to disparage the president's win and elevate his particular men into the stalking horse for 2016 nomination for presidency on the republican side. he's dogging the dude who won and trying to put forward the carrot for his own particular horse to win. right now he's looking at the backside of that horse and the tail is switching mightily in his face from the obama administration. >> i guess he's proof that you can be a billionaire and not particularly clef. ken vogel and professor dyson,
